What's on TV? Saturday, June 30, 1956



Usually I try to come up with something relevant to the day's listings; a local angle if there is one. You'd think that would be easier when we're dealing with the Southern Minnesota Edition—which, face it, looks a lot like the Minnesota State Edition minus Duluth. Maybe I've mentioned this before, but you'll note that the baseball game of the week isn't carried in the Twin Cities—that's because of the two minor league teams, the Minneapolis Millers and St. Paul Saints. It was a great time for rivalry between the two, especially on the 4th of July, when the teams would play a doubleheader, one in each city. Well, we don't have anything like that to celebrate the 4th anymore; both teams were superseded by the arrival of the Twins, and the Saints were reborn in 1993 as an independent minor league team (they're now the Triple A affiliate of the Twins). No use crying over foul balls, though, since baseball is almost unwatchable today. But back in the 1950s—well, enjoy the games, everyone. And Happy Fourth!
